Wrapping up in a robe

Pretty cozy lounge wear is tricky. You want it to be comfortable, but usually you also want it to be a little sexy. Holes are ok, as long as its a pattern in lace, and not in your sweatpants-- sort of thing.

For truly cold days I have a cashmere bathrobe that is heavenly and even though its from an ex I wouldn't get rid of it without a replacement already in my possession. If you live anywhere where it gets chilly, I highly recommend a cashmere robe.

But for those other times, when you just need to cover up and look cute, a silk or cotton robe comes in handy.
I haven't had a cotton robe since I was in high school, and I remember it being quite ratty and not very practical.

This robe looks like the very definition of practical, if you're wearing nothing underneath it would be very sexy, if you're wearing some pj's that are too skimpy for open blinds on the first floor this would cover you up, but if you spilled maple syrup on it at breakfast it would be totally washable.
